Sustainability of Development
Recent evidence suggests that the groundwater is under serious threat of

continues. Groundwater overuse is particularly found in the agriculturally
prosperous regions of Punjab and Western U.P., hard rock plateau areas of central
and south India, some coastal areas and the rapidly growing urban settlements.

this is exactly how it is recorded. Thus we have reliable information on the

proportion of different religious communities in the country and how it has
changed over the years. The record shows the population proportion of six major
religious communities in the country. Since Independence, the total population of
each community has increased substantially.
